Introduction to the verb calfeutrer
The English translation of the French verb calfeutrer is “to caulk” or “to seal”. It is pronounced as “kal-fuh-tray”.

In the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, calfeutrer is used to express an action that was completed before another past action. It is formed by using the auxiliary “avoir” in the Subjonctif Imparfait tense followed by the past participle of calfeutrer, which is “calfeutré”.
